‘Days’ Star Alison Sweeney Headed to General Hospital

Alison Sweeney is a long time daytime star who played Sami Brady on NBC’s Days of Our Lives for almost 22 years. She also has hosting The Biggest Loser under her belt, along with many other projects that have displayed her many talents. It has been confirmed that ex-Sami will be moving her talents over to ABC’s General Hospital. Although this time her role will be much different. She won’t be playing any on screen roles, Sweeney will be working on directing with the GH executive team. Alison isn’t a directing rookie however, she has spent time in the past directing some episodes of Days of Our Lives.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Executive Producer Frank Valentini disclosed that he asked Alison to join the GH team after she spent some time observing on the GH set and said, “She’s sort of paid her dues and spent some time learning the show,” so when an opening presented itself, “I asked her if she was available and she said yes.”

Alison Sweeney is said to direct her first episode this month.

The General Hospital and Y&R Saga

It seems as though the General Hospital fans cannot seem to put down the Steve Burton story. It should be simple, right? Steve Burton left his role as Jason Morgan after 21 years because he moved to Tennessee for his family. At this point, we all wish it was that simple. This has been an ongoing saga for months on end now. After leaving General Hospital, it was shockingly announced that Steve Burton was joining the cast of The Young and the Restless as Dylan. Fans were outraged and accused Steve of plotting this with friend Jill Farren Phelps over at Y&R all along. Burton has already made numerous attempts to convince the fans that was not the case but for some reason some of the fans just cannot let it go.Not only is Steve getting grief from his devoted General Hospital fans who have felt abandoned by their favorite daytime actor, he is also receiving some negativity from the Y&R fans. Y&R fans claim that ever since Burton arrived the show revolves around his character Dylan, fans calling it “The Dylan Show.”

In regard to the entire issue with GH and Y&R fans, Steve explained what actually is going on, he said, “Listen, without the fans we don’t have a show. I understand their frustrations and I know that they don’t necessarily like change. I guess maybe my coming to Y&R upsets people because they don’t really know the truth of what happened. What you and I both know — that GH didn’t make a deal with me. And that’s the whole truth. My contract was up and they didn’t want to play ball and make it work. At the time, I didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus over there but of course, as soon as it was announced I was going to Y&R, people thought the whole thing was planned by Jill from Day 1, which it was not. I vividly remember my manager telling me how ABC Business Affairs had called him to say, “Hey, is Steve going to Y&R now that Jill’s over there?” And my manager said, ‘No, he wants to make a deal with you! Quit dragging your feet. Make a deal.’ But they wouldn’t.”

You win some, you lose some, and you can’t please them all. There was more real life drama in the soap world when actress Michelle Stafford left her role as Phyllis on The Young and the Restless and joined General Hospital. Fans over at Y&R are missing their longtime fan favorite of Genoa City just as GH fans are missing Burton. With the arrival of Nina Clay, Silas’ wife in Port Charles, Michelle Stafford hasn’t exactly gotten a warm welcome from General Hospital fans. Maybe Steve Burton is right, and people just don’t like to accept change. But if things don’t “change” at some point, or if fans don’t cling onto that small hope that their favorite actor or actress will be coming back to the roles they are best known for, these stories about Steve Burton and Michelle Stafford just may never be put to rest.

As for now, Steve Burton is happy at Y&R and intends to stay there for the foreseeable future. Stafford is happily playing the role of Nina Clay on General Hospital and has no intention of leaving and reprising her role as Phyllis on The Young and the Restless. The role of Phyllis has already been recast and will now be played by soap vet Gina Tognoni. Rumors are still up in the air on the Jason Morgan recast. It is still rumored that Billy Miller will be playing Jason Morgan, but no new news about a signed contract has been confirmed by executives.

 

Sonny Sees Lily

There is never a dull moment in the life of a high powered mod boss. It seems like every time he turns around there is another threat, another mob family out to get revenge, or take his territory, steal his latest love interest, or kidnap his kids. Sonny can never turn his back because there is always someone behind him waiting for that one moment where he is vulnerable.

One of the earliest of Sonny’s enemies on GH was his own Father in law. Lily’s father was a dangerous Puerto Rican crime Lord who eventually made the biggest mistake of his life. A car bomb that was actually meant for Sonny, ended up killing his own daughter, Lily who was pregnant at the time. After the death of his wife and unborn child, Sonny never forgave himself and this traumatic incident would shape Sonny Corinthos into the man he is today. Sonny was highly effected by the death of his wife which was meant for him. From then on, he constantly lives in fear that the ones he loves will end up getting hurt. This is why he left Brenda at the altar. Even in more recent times, with Kate/Connie, Sonny feared that the ones closest to him always get hurt, and he is usually right.

After killing AJ, then finding out Ava was the one who actually killed Connie and not AJ, Sonny has been under a lot of stress. The last thing he needs before he is done dealing with Ava and her pregnancy is more complications in his life. Apparently, there is a rumor that Sonny comes across an old Port Charles newspaper featuring the story of Lily getting killed. Why is this coming to the surface now, about 20 years after her death? Could Lily still be alive? Her son Juan has been back and forth to Port Charles from Puerto Rico a few times since his cousin Sabrina arrived. Currently, the two are in Puerto Rico and Juan is supporting his cousin while she grieves the loss of her baby boy. When Sabrina returns, will Juan come along with her? He may have a reason, and an agenda that involves Sonny.

What’s to come of Sonny coming across this paper? Weigh in with your thoughts and theories by commenting below.

Will Patrick Save the Life of the Boy Who Took His Son’s?

Only in the soap world would such a compromising position even exist for a doctor. Clearly Dr. Patrick Drake should not be the one to operate on Rafe. Patrick is grieving for the loss of his son Gabriel. He now knows that Rafe was the one who ran his car off the road with a pregnant Sabrina and little Emma as passengers. Rafe admitted to Molly that he was the one who caused it, but also revealed that it wasn’t an accident. Someone put him up to it and fans want to know who.

Dr. Obrecht has ordered Patrick to operate on Rafe due to his traumatic brain injury caused by the accident. Patrick is the best neurosurgeon in the state of New York and basically Rafe’s only chance at survival. Silas gave Dr. Drake a solid warning, stating that he will regret it if the thought of using a scalpel to get revenge even crosses his mind. Sam wants to support her friend Patrick but at the same time she loves Rafe and Silas and wants Rafe to live.

Will Patrick be able to save Rafe’s life? Or is Rafe going to die so that Alice will get his heart?

 

Will Alice Get a New Heart?

Alice Gunderson has been the live in maid for the Quartermaine family since 2001. She is loved by most of the Quartermaine’s as she and Tracy have their differences. Alice really holds a fondness for Luke Spencer. When he and Tracy got married about 4 years ago, Alice was so upset she wore black to their wedding. She is witty, funny, kinda, and a professional wrestler. She goes by the name of “The Dominator” and Morgan Corinthos is a big fan.

Now that Michael is running ELQ, Fluke has convinced Tracy to make Michael think she and Luke got an annulment in their marriage. She wants to take ELQ right from under Michael’s feet and in order to do that she has to keep her enemy (Michael) closer. Little does Tracy know, she is the one being played by Fluke. If she succeeds in knocking Michael off his ELQ throne, she won’t be far behind him. Fluke has a plan of his won for ELQ.

Alice walked in on Tracy having a phone conversation with Fluke. They were discussing the take down and how she was convincing Michael that she is truly sorry and wants to help ELQ in any way she can. Just as ALice was about to reveal to Michael what Tracy was up to, she collapsed. Over at GH, Monica ran some tests and scans. The results came back that Alice needs a heart transplant.

As Alice is fighting for a new heart, Molly and Rafe are fighting for their lives after Rafe crashed into a police barracade meant for him to stop and surrender. Rafe was running from his recent life of crime. Molly hopped into his car in hopes to talk him out of running. The two were yelling about Rafe’s current situation with drugs and causing Dr. Drake’s accident when suddenly Rafe drove his car into the road block. They were rushed to General Hospital and we don’t know if either will survive. Will Alice receive  a heart from one of these teens? Will Rafe or Molly die and save Alice? There is also a rumor that Shawn will end up killing Fluke’s companion, mobster, Mickey Diamond and he will be the one to give Alice a heart. Let us know what you think. Will Alice survive?

What Does Levi Want with Maxie?

Ever since Maxie brought Levi to Port Charles back from her soul searching journey, he has been nothing short of controlling, sneaky, and down right annoying. He is obviously manipulating Maxie. There is some reason that Levi doesn’t want Maxie to be with her daughter Georgie. We all know that he was the one who told the judge that Nathan lied to protect her. When he made that phone call, he conveniently lost his Aussie accent. The question is, does he even have an Aussie accent at all, or did he drop his accent to disguise his voice when giving his anonymous tip to the court? Maybe he isn’t from Australia at all and perhaps he only is pretending he is to get in better with Mac. Regardless, Levi is definitely up to something. Who is he connected to? What does he want in Port Charles, and why is he deliberately sabotaging Maxie’s chances with baby Georgie?

Does Franco Have a Reason to be Jealous?

Sonny and Carly gave a long history and explosive chemistry. They have been through thick and thin, the good and the bad, and no matter what they do to one another, they always seem to find their way back to each other.Since Carly, Sonny has found love with many women. Connie, Olivia, Brenda, and Emily just to name a few. Carly has had a few great loves as well. Jax is probably her second great love, whose last name she still carries although they are divorced. Currently Carly is with Franco. Artist, and ex-sociopath, all due to a brain tumor that was causing him to be crazy. Carly sees past what once was with Franco and was able to forgive him for the things he could not control. So if Carly and Franco are so good together now, why should Franco be jealous?

Currently, Sonny and Carly both are up to their necks in the whole AJ’s murder situation. No, Carly didn’t help Sonny shoot him, but she did however give Sonny the only evidence that could pin him to the murder. There are a lot of things to consider in this drama. Ava is a huge complication. Sonny can’t even get the word out that she is the one who killed Connie without implicating himself at the same time. Then there is Michael. When Michael finds out Sonny killed AJ, and Carly has known for all this time, things are not going to be pretty for the entire Corinthos family. This is a time where Carly and Sonny will most likely stick together and have one another’s backs.

Franco is already showing signs of jealousy, and according to Ava, he is the jealous type. Will Franco take his insecurities to a level where Carly won’t be able to forgive him? Franco just might spill the beans about the recodring of Sonny shooting AJ, and Carly just might resent him forever, leaving Carly to run back to Sonny.

She’s Already Been Taping Scenes at GH! What Could This Mean for Ava?

This fan favorite has made a couple cameo appearances on General Hospital in the recent past. Ilene Kristen who plays Delia, Mother of Ava Jerome has been taping scenes for her next return to the canvas.

There is a lot going on with her daughter Ava. Ava is pregnant (supposedly) with either Mob Boss Sonny Corinthos’ child, or, his son Morgan’s child. It’s a twisted situation and things in Port Charles are about to get even more messed up.

There have been a lot of speculating going on when it comes to Ava and Nina. Some say that Nina’s child is indeed alive and Ava has never been pregnant before. Could Kiki really be Nina’s? Would Delia know anything about this? Fans have mentioned that they found it odd Ava was reading “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and that Kiki looks a lot like Nina. Also the shocked look on Ava’s face when she saw that headlines that Nina was found alive.

Surely there will be a lot going on that will involve Ava, her Mother Delia, Nina, Silas, Madeline and much more! Keep watching General Hospital for Ilene’s upcoming scenes.
